Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk (or milk + 1 tsp vinegar)
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Optional toppings: pickles, ketchup, mustard, burger sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and grease a 9-inch pie dish.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium. Cook ground beef and onion until beef is browned and onions are soft, about 8–10 minutes.
- Stir in salt and Worcestershire sauce. Remove from heat.
- Spread the beef mixture evenly in the prepared pie dish.
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter. Stir in flour and baking powder until smooth.
- Pour the batter over the beef. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
- Bake for 25 minutes, until golden and set in the center.
- Cool slightly, then slice and serve with your favorite burger toppings.
Notes
- Swap cheddar for pepper jack for a spicy twist.
- Add chopped pickles, or veggies to the beef mixture.
